its a classic novel of ideas, with themes that have timeless elements to them. however it is still grounded in its time which makes for an interesting read but also a challenging read. it was a struggle in parts to continue, but i overall enjoyed the journey.

I did not love the story or the overarching message but I did very much enjoy the writing and it is clear why this remains so popular.

I wish I had read this novel when I was 15, I think that would've been the perfect age for me to fully appreciate it.
